CHAPTER 2
ADIRA'S POV
Dear Queen Adira,
It has been several months and I haven't heard anything but where you'd be in time for this letter. King Elijah has been shutting people out, the only way anyone could know he is still alive is when you hear him growling at someone. He's different, he's not the same my Queen. He believes you were taken from him under he's nose. And he blames himself everyday for it, I don't think he'll get any better with you gone.
As for Jace, he finally marked me. Your brother is wonderful, my Queen. And I thank the moon goddess everyday for blessing me with him. But even your brother has dark days where he can't cope that you've been missing for so long. He also blames himself, so does your father.
Well I've got patrol to do, but please write back so I know how you are.
-Blaine
This letter was given to me 7 months after I left Elijah. I've never written back, to ashamed to admit my feelings over a letter.
But I knew if I wanted my information from inside of Elijah's castle, then I had to reply to her letter. Hoping she'll reply to mine back.
I grabbed a fresh sheet of paper and a pen as I started to jot down my thoughts and plans to Blaine. I knew she'll reply, but what I'm more worried about is if she'll get this letter.
I know I can easily get one of my pack members to give it to her, but the risk isn't worth it. Especially if the rumours of Elijah being cruel are true.
But I had to try!
~20 minutes later~
I stretched my arm out as I yawned, feeling tired and exhausted from today. I place the letter gently in the envelop and put it on my nightstand before turning the lamp off and falling asleep.
As sleep was just about to catch me, my office door was being knocked at loudly. Making me growl lowly under my breath as my eyes turned a gold colour.
I growled into my pillow loudly after hearing the constant knocking, before getting up and seeing what the problem was. And there better of been a good reason for me staying up late.
"What?" I growled out as Damien came in and shut the door behind him.
"Damien?" I asked with concerned after seeing him looking like he saw a ghost.
"I had another vision, Queen Adira." He spoke after a minute of heavy breathing.
I nearly forgot that Damien had visions of the future. He was one of the gifted wolves like I was. He even had white fur like me, but that was the curse of having powers. When you're gifted your fur is white as snow, making it easier for people to tell the difference of the gifted and the ordinary wolves.
"What was it?" I asked as I watched him sit down on one of the chairs, looking anxious.
"King Elijah was with witches, and they were killing us all like we were nothing. He was strong, Queen Adira, so f*****g strong! And brutal! I've never seen someone so powerful in my life!" He semi shouted after a minute of shaking on the seat.
I walked in front of him and knelt down as I put my hand on he's.
"Calm down, just take a deep breath, Damien." He finally listened as he took a deep breath in, and then out.
"Now, what else can you tell me about your vision?" I asked trying to sound as calm as one can after hearing this.
"You were there." He spoke up as he looked into my eyes. "You were tied up and screaming, while King Elijah was killing our pack with no mercy." I looked down as I swallowed hard, as thoughts of a cruel Elijah came to me.
I felt my nose prickle, knowing my wolf was hurting from this news. Damien was gifted and loyal, he is many things but a liar isn't one.
"Why don't you get some rest, Damien. You have a long day tomorrow." I said as I stood up and led him to the door, making sure he was okay.
"But what about my vision?" He asked worriedly.
"I'll handle King Elijah. I won't let anything happened to you guys." I replied confidently as I put my hand on he's shoulder, reassuring him everything was going to be okay.
He smiled weakly, turning on he's heel and walking down the hall towards the men's sleeping area.
I shut the door and locked it, once I did that I leaned my back on the door and slid down to the ground. Cuddling my knees as tears escaped me freely.
Damien's powers of having visions have always been accurate, never once has he's visions lied to him. Which hurts more when he's vision is of my mate killing my people. While I did nothing but scream!
I put my head on my knees as I held myself tighter. My wolf cried from missing her mate and the news we got. While a sickening feeling rose in my stomach, one that made me feel uneasy to the point of faint.
Has Elijah really changed into someone so brutal and cruel? All because I left? Knowing the reason behind he's cruelty is so unbearable hurts, I never wanted to hurt him. I never wanted him to turn out like this.
But I can't help but feel guilty.
